GROWTH ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

After shrinking over the last 3 years, revenue is set to grow 3%/yr from here.

Earnings are set to grow in step with sales (EPS about 6%/yr vs revenue 3%/yr). One year dips: EPS falls 1% next year.

WEAKNESSES

Growth is the weak spot here, trailing 77% of companies worldwide.

Revenue held flat over the last 3 years, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

Revenue is set to grow 3%/yr over the next 3 years, behind most of the market.3/10

Over five years revenue is set to grow 4%/yr, behind 70% of companies worldwide.3/10

BOTTOM LINE

Stalled Business

Growth is a weak point here: a business that's turning around. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.

MOMENTUM ASSESSMENT

STRENGTHS

None flagged.

WATCH

It's down 16% over the past year, now 19% below its 52-week high. That is a touch behind the market.

Returns sit at the market level over the past month (-3%) and over three months (-5%).

WEAKNESSES

Weak long-term results. It has been a disappointing long-term hold (-12% over three years and +18% over five), behind 70% of the market.

The stock is underperforming so far this year (-11%).

BOTTOM LINE

Falling Knife

Returns rank poorly over both the short and long run, and the price is still falling. Momentum is firmly negative — catching this is a bet against the tape, not with it. Wait for a base to form. The one thing to watch: the multi-year record is weak.
